even though the euro has a crap load of body roll, i reckon it still grips extremely well more so than the mazda 6.
Anyways, i don't think you should be too worried about performance when you have an auto euro as you wont be beating anything besides buses n semi trailers.
We all know the Euro is the best, otherwise we would be on ozmazda.com! :p
Mazda6 2.5L not 2.3L (i was talking about the new one, you didnt specify)
and when i said the euro handles better, i was talking when mine was bone stock, and the mazda6 was brand new... both cars just how they left the factory...
so your saying when u drive the mazda6 u dont have your eyes open wide? :eek:
i love the handling of the euro, i found the mazda a little boaty in corners, but having the traction control off in the euro at reasonable speeds the euro is so great and predictable to drive, i can loose complete traction of my front wheels and understeer into a corner and still be in complete control, the only scary thing the euro has ever done 2 me was once going into a corner sharply the back flung out but the traction control snapped it back in.
my only true criticism of the euro is the huge amount of wheel hop when launching, and the bodyroll at high speeds
I had my Euro for more than four years and im always confident about hammering into corners, no doubt it feels like a boat, but if you are confident and brave enough you'll know it's a boat with an anchor to the sea bed.
okok i wont say more... when i said the -ve G i meant the -ve G effect... Just to clearify I have had 7 cars prior to the euro and when i meant 7 cars its within 3 yrs which meant all the cars i have driven was from 02' onwards nothing older than that...
I would consider the euro as a awesome package of performance, comfort and handling... the euro doesnt top any thing but because its a one car wonder i think its a pretty good car... I never have the intention to hurt or offend anyone here owning a Euro... and let me explain why i changed cars just in 2008
1st car in 2008 changed from a 04' magna to a mitsubishi 380
reason: 380 had heaps more power
2nd car: 04" mazda 6
reason: petrol was going up so maybe its time to be sensible and downgrade to a 4cyc...
3rd car:accord euro
reason: the mazda 6 was noisy and i had to travel 50km a day and i felt that comfort was more important.. researched on similar medium size car and through heaps of internet reviews, I found the euro being one of the best for comfort in the medium size car... to be honest i love the euro just felt disappointed cause maybe deep inside me i had this feeling that it would be heaps faster than the mazda 6 that i had especially with the legendary Vtec....
